That looks projected, not printed. (or 'shopped.)
Still, ya, proofreading important.

LOL, it’s on a LightDesign subreddit too.
Someone said, “Gobo?”
Someone else said, “More like a ‘GoNoooooo’”

It’s funny, but I do wonder if this isn’t Photoshopped. It seems to me that a state supreme court would have their assets buttoned up and there wouldn’t be a need for to recreate the seal.

It’s supposedly been fact checked.
But it only looks like a half-hearted attempt.

Though I also wondered about the photoshop thing. The alignment on the fabric foldbacks is a little weird. There should be some image curving if projected, and if it’s printed, there should be a lot more image missing down in those folds. The alignment would be off.

Yeah, that mistake would have taken some work.
On the other hand, a quick internet search tells me that the various branches of the Louisiana government use the same pelican seal, but the words are changed to reflect the branch using it. Perhaps there’s a master version where the type is live and can be changed as needed. If that’s the case, a spelling mistake like this one seems more plausible.

Besides the spelling mistake, ST(R)EAK FREE is a compound adjective that needs a hyphen.
If it’s real, I’m surprised a major brand like Pennzoil would make that kind of mistake. Then again, steak-free is good since meat leaves greasy smears on the window.

I was thinking Steak Free as in if you happen to run into a cow in a tornado kind of thing.

OK not strictly a proofreading fail, but maybe they should employ proofreaders for street lettering …

Along similar lines… I probably posted this two or three years ago, but I see it every time I walk our dog.

Does the spelling mistake void the guarantee?

Considering the missing letter, satisfaction must be calculated at 90%
